London. 25th November 2005. Last orders were finally called on Georgie Best, and not just his birth city of Belfast and adopted Manchester mourned, but an entire world did so. A young man born in a place ripped apart by religious bigotry, but adored by all for a god given ability to perform miracles with a ball at his feet. There are those who will claim Best never fully achieved his true potential, but any who witnessed him in his pomp will simply claim that it would have been simply impossible for him to be any better. A terrible concoction, a mixed blessing. One touched by angels on a football pitch, stalked by demons off it. Where to place him the order of the world's greatest ever footballers is always sure to be the cause of endless disagreement, with George never having played in the World Cup finals. However, on being asked who was the finest player he has witnessed, the legendary Pele simply smiled and remarked: ''That's easy. George Best.''
